This project is one possible way, and the way I did it uses hand-authored primitives with randomized parameters, painted in Lua and placed by a procedural layout whose "fill the unused space" part borrows a 1998 idea from the ornament literature. It gets a similar look, but I explicitly tried to not replicate the original. This project was made with the assistance of AI (Claude), and I'm sharing the process I used to bring it to life.
